Veterans Day Salute

For those who lost their lives in battle. Their photo still rests upon the mantel. They gave their lives, to fight for freedom. They gave their lives, with spirit and wisdom. Army boots and bags.Navy Seals and rags. Air Force wings and badges.Marine Corps boots and buttons.Helmets of steal which truly toughen.Toughen the fighting men who wish to be free.Remembering the lives we lost for freedom.Remembering the days we had to dig in.While fighting the wars on land and sea.Defending our flag, for the right to be free.A twenty one gun salute, for all our brave men.Who battled at war, until the very end..

I appreciate this poem, Kim. I guess this is the first Veterans Day that I haven't written a poem in a long time. I've tried, but words just wouldn't come. It's a bit complicated. Thank you for this one.
